Officials say actor Gene Hackman, 95, probably died days before he and his wife's bodies were found Wednesday at their home in Santa Fe, N.M.Hackman's pacemaker was last active on Feb. 17, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adam Mendoza said at a news conference on Friday.The sheriff said it was "a very good assumption" Hackman died on that day, based on information from a pathologist.A pacemaker is an implanted battery-powered medical device that helps regulate the heart's rhythm.The deaths of Hackman, 95, and Betsy Arakawa, 65, immediately prompted suspicion, authorities said. Initial reports found no signs of forced entry, foul play, a robbery, or a carbon monoxide or other gas leak. morehttps://www.vpm.org/npr-news/npr-news/2025-02-28/gene-hackmans-pacemaker-activity-suggests-he-died-several-days-before-he-was-found
Ok - likely Hackmam died of a heart attack or arrhythmia problems, but his wife dying at 65 is quite young and dying around the same time along with the dog -- that still obviously raises questions. So odd.
With Gene dead on the kitchen floor maybe she committed suicide..that would explain the pills everywhere....or maybe they were his heart pills she was trying to get when she was electrocuted by the space heater....all kinds of scenarios...I used to read a lot of *real crime books*....
Then why would one of the dogs be dead?
David Johansen, of New York Dolls and Buster Poindexter fame, dies at 75Johansen's death comes weeks after his family announced he was suffering from terminal cancer and other health problems.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/david-johansen-new-york-dolls-singer-buster-poindexter-dead-obituary-1235284539/
Understand the bodies were there 1-2 weeks.Died of thirst (dehydration)
Didn't we hear one dog dead in a kennel, but two roaming around alive? Did those two feed on the bodies of the deceased? (I know, a horrible thought).
They were outside running around...from pictures they were all german shepards.
Hackman's pacemaker stopped working and likely caused his death, but that doesn't explain the death of his wife who was almost 30 years younger. ????
I hate perpetuating rumors, but weren't there pills found around her body? OD or suicide maybe?
One dog was found dead inside of a crate or kennel in a closet, though. A pathologist Page Six spoke to theorized that the German Shepherd died from dehydration.

Rest in peace Gunnery Sergent Ronald L. Dickenson! You more than earned it!A warrior has gone home. Ron had a massive heart attack Friday night.
"So the autopsy showed he didn't have any injury," Baden continued. "There was no carbon monoxide. And he had — the most common cause of death in this country — severe heart disease, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure perhaps, from what's been released. So that would cause him, having cardiac arrest in the mudroom, to collapse right there."In a search warrant affadvit released by the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office and obtained by Fox News Digital, investigators stated that they found Hackman's body on the floor in a mud-room with a walking cane and sunglasses nearby. According to the documents, the detectives suspected that the actor may have "suddenly fallen."Baden shared his theory that Arakawa's death may have occurred after Hackman's pacemaker stopped while she was trying to help her husband. The affidavit stated that Arawkawa was found on the ground in a bathroom with a space heater near her head. An orange prescription bottle was found near Hackman's wife, according to a search warrant affidavit. It appeared to be open with pills scattered on a countertop. Authorities listed thyroid medication, blood pressure medication and Tylenol among the items they took from the house."His wife was found in the bathroom," Baden said. "They haven't released the information about her findings, except that she did not have carbon monoxide in her, and that what appears to be from the scene and from what's been said is that she found her husband in the mudroom." Baden explained that in an agitated state, Arakawa could have rushed to the bathroom to get Hackman's blood pressure medication before falling to the floor while scattering the pills and taking the space heater down with her."She may have struck her head on the way down and had some internal injury to the brain that doesn't show up on the outside or bleeding in the inside of the brain," Baden said. "Or that she may also, at 65, had severe heart disease and excitement can cause a trigger to the cardiac rhythm causing death under those circumstances. I think the first, that striking her head would be more common."According to the affidavit, the deceased dog, a German Shepherd, was found "10-15 feet" away from Arakawa in a closet of the bathroom. Two other living dogs were discovered on the property. Detectives observed that "one of the healthy dogs was initially observed near the deceased female (inside the bathroom) and the other healthy dog was observed outside the residence.""What was perplexing to me initially with the release was the death of a dog also, which I thought was free in the house," Baden said. "And that's why I think that the carbon monoxide[theory] was a very good thought with them breathing in the same air. But it turns out from what they say, that the dog was constrained in his cage or kennel and would have died from just dehydration and lack of water during the nine-day period that he couldn't get out of the kennel."
